Power Outage at TBLC HQ
TECO experienced a power outage on Saturday, September 8, at about 11 a.m. that took out several office complexes in the vicinity of Falkenburg and Windhorst. TBLC was one of the complexes that was hit. Our APC UPS carried our servers for almost an hour, but then it had to shut down. At that point, Sunline, SunCat, RPA, SIP, Help Desk, and any other service that depends on a TBLC server was down for the count.
TECO took responsibility for the problem but was unable to give us any prediction on when the power would be restored. It turned out to be about 4:30 p.m.
I have restarted all the servers that did not restart automatically. So far as I can tell, everything is working as it should. But I may have overlooked something. So, if you run into problems on Sunday, September 9, call the Sunline weekend number (813-476-1725).
